(CNN) -- As World Cup openers go, this was about as bad as it gets for Portugal. 

Thumped 4-0 by Germany, one key defender sent off, another possibly out of the tournament with injury and its World Player of the Year looking decidedly unfit. 

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't lacking in effort but was as powerless as those around him to prevent Portugal being steamrollered by Der Mannschaft in Salvador. 

It started badly for Paulo Bento's men and got steadily worse as Germany maintained its record of scoring at least four goals in every opening World Cup match since 2002.

They were 1-0 down after 10 minutes when Joao Pereira was adjudged to have hauled down Mario Gotze. Fellow Bayern Munich star Thomas Muller confidently slotted home the penalty. 

It was 2-0 when Mats Hummels thumped a header into the net from Toni Kroos' corner. 

Just five minutes later, Real Madrid defender Pepe tangled with Muller, who sank theatrically to the turf claiming a hand to the face. 

Pepe then stood over his opponent and pushed his head towards Muller's, the referee producing a straight red card. 

Muller then struck just before the interval to put the game well beyond Portugal, pouncing on a loose ball inside the area to fire past Rui Patricio. 

Portugal made a change at the break, as Ricardo Costa replaced Miguel Veloso, but it made little difference as Germany continued to press home their advantage. 

Mesut Ozil, who plays for Arsenal, should have found the net when played through on goal but he hit his shot straight at Patricio.  What are the answers to this following set of questions: 1. What record did Germany maintain?
Answer: 1. scoring at least four goals in every opening World Cup match since 2002.

CHAPTER XXVI 

TOGETHER ONCE MORE 

"Tom!" 

"Dick and Sam!" 

"How in the world did you get here?" 

"Where are the others?" 

These and a dozen other questions were asked and answered as the three Rover boys shook hands over and over again. Even though prisoners, they were delighted to be together once more, and doubly delighted to know that each was well. 

"Oh, these chaps are first-class rascals," said Dick after they had settled down a bit. "They have treated us most shamefully. At first, they gave us pretty good eating, but now they are starving us." 

"Starving you?" cried Tom. 

"Yes--they want us to tell all we know," put in Sam. "They are very suspicious." 

"Didn't you try to get away?" 

"No use of trying. The walls are too solid and so is the door," said Dick. He caught Tom by the arm and added in a faint whisper in his brother's ear: "They are listening. We have a hole." 

"Then we'll have to stay here," said Tom loudly, catching his cue instantly. 

"Yes, and it's a shame," added Sam in an equally loud voice. "I suppose the others have gone on?" 

"Certainly," said Tom calmly. "I was a chump to remain behind--only I wanted to find you. I got hold of a letter by accident." 

A moment later, they heard the guards walk away, and then Tom told the truth about the letter, and Sam and Dick led him to the hole in the wall. 

"It is not quite big enough to use, yet," whispered the eldest Rover. "But we hope to have it big enough by to-morrow. It's slow work, when you have got to be on your guard all the while."  What are the answers to this following set of questions: 1. How many boys are there?
